The Prodigal Son, he'd been away a while,
|
he was working his way back home now over many a ragged mile.
|
When he finally crossed the river and his father saw him near,
|
there was a joyful sound, for all the world to hear.
|
|
I listened to what the Good Book said and it made good sense to me,
|
talking about reaping what you're sowing, people trying to be free.
|
Now we've got new names and faces, this time around,
|
Gospel changes, Lord, still going down.
|
|
Jesus, He did not doubt His gifts, though He knew that He had not long to live.
|
He took care of the business of teaching us how to fly,
|
then He bowed His head and laid down to die.
|
|
I listened to what the Good Book said and it made good sense to me,
|
talking about reaping what you're sowing, people trying to be free.
|
Now we've got new names and faces, this time around,
|
Gospel changes, Lord, still going down.
|
|
Jerusalem I see you standing high,
|
but if you lose your salvation, there'll be no tears left to cry.
|
Now some men worship a Golden Calf while others are bought and sold,
|
and if we live like that, brother we'll pay the toll.
|
|
I listened to what the Good Book said and it made good sense to me,
|
talking about reaping what you're sowing, people trying to be free.
|
Now we've got new names and faces, this time around,
|
Gospel changes, Lord, still going down.
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Gospel changes, Lord, still going down.
